Dial 4 Rescreening Results Program Staff
Preschoolers Reaching Educational Potential
Specifically designed for children ages 3-5, the Preschoolers Reaching Educational Potential (PREP) Program provides free screenings and instructional sessions to help every child start school with appropriate developmental skills. Screenings are in three key areas of development including: Motor and Concept Skills, Social and Language Skill as well as Vision and Hearing. Children with signs of delay for their age are referred to the public school systems or may be placed in our follow-up program. In some cases, parents may be directed to other community resources. After we’ve determined which developmental skills need to be addressed, we will offer an individualized education plan developed based on your child’s identified needs, a progress report every month to parents or guardians to help them monitor growth development. A re-testing of the child is preformed after 4-6 months to measure their progress. Dashboard Action Lights:

12.5% of the children did not screen at age level. However, 100% of these children made improvements. They were required to complete more activities, as a result of the skills necessary for their chronological age. 7 of the 16 children that did not rescreen at age level will remain enrolled in PREP follow-up in the 2015-2016 year.
